[PATCH v2 2/4] mm/oom: handle remote ooms

[Mina Almasry <almasrymina@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On remote ooms (OOMs due to remote charging), the oom-killer will attempt
to find a task to kill in the memcg under oom, if the oom-killer
is unable to find one, the oom-killer should simply return ENOMEM to the
allocating process.

If we're in pagefault path and we're unable to return ENOMEM to the
allocating process, we instead kill the allocating process.

Changes in v2:
- Moved the remote oom handling as Roman requested.
- Used mem_cgroup_from_task(current) instead of grabbing the memcg from
current->mm
